[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get resentful if DH were living a life of leisure while I work - I'm not wired to provide for another adult plus kids. I think DH feels the same way. I've cut back more on my career and taken on more of the kids' stuff, and we also have a full-time nanny, and that arrangement is fine, but I know we'd both resent each other if someone stops contributing so the other one can freeride. We both prefer play to work, so we'll just retire together, on the early side. [/quote] +1 Some men feel powerful when they can provide a life of leisure for their family. Some women are fine with that. Most of those men cheat and will never leave their wife for the AF. Some women are fine with that too. I work with many men of happy SAH spouses who have a life of leisure. They don't respect their wife when they are not there.[/quote]
